Looks like dom's prediction is on

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:45 (seventeen years ago)

That was a slip

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:47 (seventeen years ago)

Should have shoved a twenty on it

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:47 (seventeen years ago)

As much as I love the guy and wanna see him win every fucking HW belt going, I still think he has zero chin

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:47 (seventeen years ago)

there he goes

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:48 (seventeen years ago)

wow he got up

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:48 (seventeen years ago)

Ref had a fiver on it ending in the fifth, clearly

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:49 (seventeen years ago)

haha

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:49 (seventeen years ago)

haha wow Barrett hit him while Haye was down. He's gonna pay!

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:50 (seventeen years ago)

Can't remember if I've mentioned it here before, but I saw Haye's debut fight back on BBC2 in... 02? 03? Second year at uni anyway. The guy exuded star quality even then.

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

must be out this time

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

Stick a fork in it

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

Can't wait to see Haye get hugged by the Klitschkos for 15 rounds

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

They would have to get near him first

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:53 (seventeen years ago)

I'm excited at the prospect of a Haye vs Klitschko fight. I just hope virginmedia dont take Setanta off us! (Or Pay per view on sky)

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:02 (seventeen years ago)

I watched a bunch of old boxing matches today. If you've never seen Caveman Lee vs. John LoCicero you gotta get on that, totally amazing fight.

J0hn D., Sunday, 16 November 2008 01:13 (seventeen years ago)

That the same Caveman Lee that got beasted by Hagler?

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Sunday, 16 November 2008 01:20 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah I have that fight too and also watched it today - that was two fights later for Lee, he was really coming up and then Hagler one-rounded him. To be honest the Hagler fight looks kind of fishy if you've watched Lee scrap - Hagler's class, but hard punchers like LoCicero have a very hard time dropping Lee and then boom, he can't lay a glove on Hagler, crumbles quickly, vanishes for four years, fights two more fights and retires? Still, it's true that none of the guys he ran through were anywhere near Hagler's stature.

J0hn D., Sunday, 16 November 2008 02:30 (seventeen years ago)

two weeks pass...

I'm in Australia tonight and won't be able to see the De La Hoya/Pacquiao fight :(

J0hn D., Saturday, 6 December 2008 06:27 (seventeen years ago)

spoiler: pac-man wins

cankles, Saturday, 6 December 2008 06:51 (seventeen years ago)

you & I both wish!

J0hn D., Saturday, 6 December 2008 10:06 (seventeen years ago)

If accessibility is the problem then here's a list of places you should be able to watch the fight

Chubinder, Saturday, 6 December 2008 10:46 (seventeen years ago)

I'm pretty sure I'll be on an airplane when it happens (I'm in Newcastle tonight and I'm flying to Adelaide eaaaarrrrrly tomorrow morning) but if I get to Adelaide in time then sir I am in your debt for that list

J0hn D., Saturday, 6 December 2008 13:54 (seventeen years ago)

De La Hoya will get more consideration from the judges if this fight is close, but I don't think it will be close enough for that to come into play. I like pacman - unanimous decision by two points.

Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 16:27 (seventeen years ago)

Righto, anyone watching tonight's ITV punch-a-ganza?

The first match will be starting on ITV4, featuring a bloke called Tyson Fury. Who is six foot nine.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:53 (seventeen years ago)

I was just getting my dinner out of the oven, come back, Booty Luv are stood on the ring entrance, and they are singing. And then the Hungarian lad that Tyson Fury is about to pummel walks between them. And now here's Tyson Fury himself.

I do not get it.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:58 (seventeen years ago)

Tyson Fury could perhaps be described as a Julian Barratt-looking motherfucker, except he has shaved and is, like, six foot nine.

Rob McCracken! Whey!

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:59 (seventeen years ago)

"Hennessey Sports in association with Brady House Hotel, Ireland, Golden Palace.com, The Sun newspaper, and Hooters of Nottingham..."

Poll?

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:00 (seventeen years ago)

And Fury pops him in the belly and it's over in just over two minutes. That was not very interesting at all.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:05 (seventeen years ago)

So now there's how much time to kill before the main event? I hope that prelim was scheduled for, like, 3 rounds.

Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:13 (seventeen years ago)

BTW, I am not watching this. Just seeing what you post.

Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:14 (seventeen years ago)

Now signing off. Have fun. I hope it's a barn burner of a fight.

Aimless, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:16 (seventeen years ago)

I missed the second fight cos that lasted one round too. I am not sure what they're gonna do now. Gabriel Clarke has just interviewed Tyson Fury. Again. Now he's talking to his dad.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:31 (seventeen years ago)

Gabriel Clarke looks remarkably like a Tory MP who's about to be found out for something.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:32 (seventeen years ago)

Okay Hannah's letting me have the boxing on now. This one looks promising.

Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:34 (seventeen years ago)

Carl Froch fight is on ITV at 10.45pm

Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:40 (seventeen years ago)

This is looking like a very good fight, actually, that last round the momentum seemed to keep on swinging...

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:53 (seventeen years ago)

Davis showboating like crazy here.

Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:55 (seventeen years ago)

David

Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:56 (seventeen years ago)

Boris Becker talks about poker, I turn to ITV1 where they're giving an award to David Renwick. Good on them, If You See God, Tell Him is class.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:57 (seventeen years ago)

Olivia Colman with the Twiggy-style haircut - good look.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:59 (seventeen years ago)

Referee's calling him Davis too, to be fair.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:00 (seventeen years ago)

This is a proper fight eh? Some mental shit from David, he's asking to be knocked down if he keeps blocking with his head like this.

Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:01 (seventeen years ago)

His posture is remarkably similar to Titus Bramble's.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

Great fight. Wright looks remarkably together considering the pummelling his face just took.

Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:05 (seventeen years ago)

Better right hand than Titus, though. Cracking knockout, that.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:05 (seventeen years ago)

And there's a match going on now that they're not showing.

And here's Boris.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:06 (seventeen years ago)

Drop Dead Gorgeous beats Skins to Best Comedy Drama. Sid from Skins - unimpressed.

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:08 (seventeen years ago)

HERBAH HIIIIDE!

William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:10 (seventeen years ago)

This might read odd, but Jon Thaxton's face takes up the entirety of the front of his head. It basically looks as though the rest of his head has been weathered away to leave only his face.
